Rockin' Ric Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Hello all! We've had a considerable amount of rain in the deep south for several months which means lots of erosion from the rock wall. Here are few samples found in the piles of stone at the bottom of those walls. This site produces a lot of small ichno fossils that I find fascinating, hopefully some day I will find some of the track makers? Both pics I guess would identify as Diplichnites. The first pic looks like the organism has some spiral movement to it??? Both of those pics are resting traces of some type of Arthropod? Both pics are some type of 3D burrows, pic #1 is a type of siphon burrow? Pic #2 has a textured surface as if the organism creating the burrow left it's tracks? Pic #1 Feeding traces? Pic #2 another textured burrow. Pic#1- impression of something, insect or feeding trace? Pic #2- Ichno expert suggests a stick, piece of wood created this impression? Pic #1- Close up shot of a resting trace. Pic #2- Scorpion that didn't want to be bothered... It's that time of year for the Creepy Crawlies, always check under the stone and on it before picking it up! 5 WELCOME TO ALL THE NEW MEMBERS! If history repeats itself, I'm SO getting a dinosaur. ~unknown www.rockinric81.wixsite.com/fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Chris Hey Chris, what I love about trace fossils...they just fascinate me. I was checking out a new fossil site when I came up on a very large puddle of clear water in the roadway. A set of turkey tracks in the mud. I should've taken a picture! WELCOME TO ALL THE NEW MEMBERS!
